I truly cannot recommend this farm enough. I had my son’s 4th birthday party here. My son had the time of his life and ALL of the kids had a BLAST. From the 10 month old to the 10 year old. Alani and Melanie are absolute GEMS. They really do an amazing job and are so much fun.
We’ve all been to a petting zoo… it’s always 3 angry goats that won’t come to the fence. This was a TOTALLY DIFFERENT ball game. There were so many different happy animals. Sheep, a lamb, goats, a baby goat, ducks, chickens, and bunnies… and a Pony decked out in ribbons!! The children get to be inside the pen with them, up close and personal for an entire hour. These animals were the SWEETEST and so friendly. Even the chickens and ducks were happy, friendly & gentle and allowed the kids to hold and pet them. It was a once in a lifetime experience for the kids. My son is autistic and this was a party mostly of 4-6 year old special needs kids who have no concept of boundaries. The animals were so kind and tolerant of them. They really had the best time ever. The pony, Jackpot, was such a good boy. He was so gentle and wonderful with the kids. They loved going for rides with Jackpot and petting him. Even my baby cousin was able to ride him because he was so safe and sweet. Everything is totally fenced in, which was SOOOO NICE for a group of special needs kids… us parents didn’t have to chase them around and got to relax while they played with the animals. I’m having my son’s birthday party here every year from now on. It was really an unforgettable experience for my son and his friends.
We had a wonderful private farm tour with Alani! It was the perfect experience for our little one’s first pony ride. All of the animals are happy and well-cared for, and we appreciated the prioritization of our safety and comfort during our visit. I know we will be repeat customers!
Everyone had a wonderful time and Zara had a blast for her birthday. She couldn’t get enough of petting the horses and ponies.

Hi Melanie! Thank you so much for making Olivia’s 5th birthday so special. She had an unbelievable time with her 3 best nursery friends and their families. Thank you so much for being so accommodating for our group with siblings/parents I think some special memories were made Saturday with the young children and sweet animals. Many, many thanks. Samantha (and family)

We booked a private farm visit for our kids (ages 1 & 3) at Pied Piper Ponies and it was such a wonderful experience. Scheduling was easy via emailing with the owner, Melanie. She answered all my questions and provided simplified directions to the farm. Upon arrival there was an adorable sign welcoming our kids by name. The animals were so sweet and well cared for and they behaved so gently with the kids. We met chickens, ducks, a pony, goats and sheep (as well as a baby goat and lamb!). The kids were able to brush, pet and hold the animals, feed dandelions to the goats and ride the pony. The pony, Honey, was so calm that even my 1 year old was able to take a slow ride on her back with her dad holding her alongside. It was just so special for the girls to be able to meet the animals up close, with plenty of time, and no crowds around. Owner Melanie and hosts Heather and Alani were really welcoming and fun to chat with, telling us lots of fun facts about the animals and the farm. It was a fantastic way to spend an afternoon and we hope to return again soon, as it’s a pretty convenient drive from lower Westchester. I highly recommend checking it out!

In the past we had Pied Piper bring the animals to our home for a birthday party and it was amazing, so we were SO happy to see they were able to switch gears and offer private visit to the farm in these crazy times! Our visit was a celebration for our little guy’s birthday and it could not have been more perfect!!! The four kids (ages 1-4) had so much fun petting, feeding, brushing, and learning the names of all of the sweet animals. Candy the pony was dressed up in bows and everyone loved taking turns riding. Picking pumpkins was the perfect ending to our morning and everyone left smiling. I cannot say enough good things about Melanie and her staff- everyone at the farm is so friendly, professional, and fun!!!! here

We visited the farm for Alexsa’s 7th birthday 
and we were not expecting such an amazing time! Melanie and Alani were so welcoming to us that right away it felt like we knew each other for a long time. Even the girls felt so at home with all the animals that they wanted to take them home. Specially Milkshake!! Pickles was my favorite! In the words of the girls- best day ever!!! Thank you

We had a great private tour at the Pied Piper Pony Rides & Petting Zoo this afternoon. Melanie was so responsive and awesome, great with kids and adults and amazingly kind. Our party (with four kids – ages 9, 7, 6, 5) loved every minute of it. The kids loved petting all the bunnies, chickens, ducks, goats, sheep, and the pony. We even saw a giant praying mantis. The children learned how to properly hold chickens and ducks, and they groomed and brushed the goats. They laughed and smiled the whole time. A FABULOUS TIME ALL AROUND! Thank you!!
